A Swing Generator Using Water Power Produced by the Wind

I focus on various kinds of natural energy sources, especially wind. Wind power generation is the most-used method of electricity generation using wind power. Wind power generation has many merits; it achieves high efficiency of electric power generation, it can generate electricity even during the night, it doesn’t make any hazardous materials. However, there are not only merits but also demerits. It can cause bird strike, environment disruption from noise and low-frequency wave. And besides, we must comply building laws when we build wind power generators. Thus I built ‘a swing generator using water power produced by the wind power’, taking a hint from swing generators in Spain. Its mechanism is as follows; Wind power shakes the pole (cylinder) placed on the ground, and the water in the bladder tank flows, turning micro hydrogenerator’s turbine. This is how electricity is generated. The costs of building and operating my generators are much lower than those of conventional wind and swing power generators. Moreover, it can be anywhere as long as the pole is flexible like bamboo. We can also generate electricity by swinging the pole by hand even when there is no wind.
